While I am sure he is a devout and honest man I can't believe that this all comes at any kind of realisation. It all feels like an attempt to put into action something a committee decided would be good. The U.K. has a population of whom over 70% described themself as Christian at the last census; perhaps the Church of England should make some attempt to communicate what this means.Utter piffle.

If you will, you can become all flame.Extra caritatem nulla salus.In order to become whole, take the "I" out of "holiness". सर्वभूतहितἌνω σχῶμεν τὰς καρδίας"Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is." -- Mohandas GandhiY dduw bo'r diolch.

It seems as if the extreme secularists in the UK are using "a certain issue" to marginalize christians. And turn christians into 2nd class citizens. A form of Jim Crow if you will.

Sometimes I wonder if the extreme secularists in America will want to do the same?

In New England as well as in Washington D.C. we saw how they were using the issue against Roman Catholic institutions. And in New Jersey we saw how they were using the issue against the Methodists.

They are using it as a political weapon to marginalize us. Hmm, I wonder if they will try to get rid of the non liberal Christian Chaplins....if not all christian chaplins in the Army and in Congress because of this issue?

Also, will they prosecute us with hate crimes for speaking out on this issue? Will they threaten to take away our tax exempt status?

Yeah, it seems as if they are using this issue as a political weapon to criminalize us.
